yikes, still struggling here

pulled the calipers and i'm 99% sure they are the venerable d52

bore diameter is ~2.95" and the mounting pins are ~7" apart on centers

the rotors are in good enough shape to turn, so I can dodge that for now, although i think Aggie91 has found the right stuff on rock auto.

another question,

I've never used anything but stock type organic pads. I'm not all that concerned about dust, noise or maintenance, but the truck has manual brakes so modulation and stopping power are what I'm after. Any recommendations on pad mat'l?
